Beatles memorabilia is valuable—even when it’s from low points in the band’s history. The Gotta Have Rock and Roll auction house says a scathing post-breakup letter from John Lennon to Paul McCartney has sold for $70,000, including a $14,000 buyer’s premium, TMZ reports. In the Nov. 24, 1971, letter—addressed to Paul, Linda, and “the wee McCartneys”—Lennon starts out by discussing financial and legal matters, taking issue with remarks McCartney made in an interview with Melody Maker magazine and accusing McCartney of trying to turn George Harrison and Ringo Starr against him in the legal battle over issues including royalties and the ownership of Apple Records.
I learned a very valuable lesson growing up, which can be summed up as “never learn too much about your heroes”. I used to enjoy the Beatles music — at least, until I learned what absolute shit-heads Lennon and McCartney actually were. Now I’ve deleted everything I had from them and will never listen to them again. Same thing for the Eagles, the Police, Fleetwood Mac, and quite a few others. Ignorance can be bliss, sometimes.
My godson was dying of an extremely rare form of cancer. He was only the eighth or ninth case on record. Two weeks before he died he was at Sloan Kettering hospital in NY. His mother was with him. There was a knock on the hospital room door and a fellow who said he used to be in a band and he wanted to say hello. He spent forty-five minutes talking and playing guitar. As he got up to leave he autographed the Taylor guitar and left it with my godson. It now rests on the bed in the childhood room where he grew up.
That’s how Paul became my favorite Beatle.
I’m holding out for the latest Mark David Chapman album to go with my John Hinckley Jr. collection…

I still dont know what John saw in Yoko. Ew….
Lennon was always a conceited, bitter little man.
So, Paul was in a band before “Wings”?
He PISSED ME OFF when Paul & his wife with the Wooden Leg, came up to Canuckistan and was posing on the Ice with Seals to protest the Native Seal Hunt.
Native people in the Far North have been Harvesting & Eating Seal for thousands of years. They can’t exactly Garden in -50 Deg weather.
Look it up.
At least Lennon’s been a GOOD Communist for the last four decades. If anyone wants to help Paul become one, the world would be much better off for it.
“I had a wife with a wooden leg named Linda.”
“What was the name of her other leg?”
@Yoko’s Voice Is Better Than Paul’s Politics: He was actually a big fan of Ronald Reagan. Some say he was a closet Republican.
Let sleeping dogs lie.
Name one celebrity who doesn’t have a public persona.
They’re entertainers; actors; bullshitters.
Politicians are the same: seeing them in their offices after hours is totally different from seeing them in front of a camera.
Not hypocrisy (necessarily); just a public façade.

Ok.
“Paul McCartney slams Trump in new song: ‘We’ve got a mad captain sailing this boat’”

“Last week Paul McCartney was presented the prestigious Gershwin Prize for Popular Song, awarded by the Library of Congress. In his acceptance speech, he took the opportunity to slam former President George W. Bush by saying “in fact, after the last eight years, it’s great to have a president who knows what a library is.””

John and Paul are both so messed up in the head from all the drugs and money. John insulting Paul by calling him a Conservative because he didn’t like that piece of tripe Imagine shows how addled he is. Paul worshipped Obama. The drugs won. At least John was seeking the truth towards the end. But he couldn’t shake himself of the witch. She’s so heavy – like lead. Just as toxic.
Paul McCartney(Macca) to you inbred Americans, is a mediocrity at best. Always has been. He is one of the wealthiest musicians on the planet & it is the American people(mainly) who made him what he is today. Yet, he does belittle America every chance he gets. I am a realist & know some people may not like this, but, The Beatles are the most overrated band EVER. I literally despise them, always have, especially Paul McCartney. The only one of the lot that seemed to have any sense at all was George Harrison. My personal idea of Hell would be being locked in a room with a set of earbuds that could not be removed while Beatles music was played 24/7 for eternity. And yes, he really did call American’s “A bunch of inbred hicks” during an interview with that bastion of Conservative thought, The U.K. Guardian.
